BrightSign collaborated with Signagelive to bring a signage solution to The Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in Australia. The installation covers two Perkins Research Institute facilities and manages the creation, scheduling and delivery of content to the large number of LED screens, information boards and large foyer banner displays, all of which are used for internal digital signage communications.
The foyer exhibition spaces at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research are accessible to the public during weekdays and regular tours give visitors the opportunity to see research taking place. The spaces are also available as a venue for hire. The aim of the new installation was to increase platform reliability and keep time spent managing the system to a minimum.
Andy Crowhurst, facilities operations manager at the Harry Perkins Institute, said: “The reliability of the Signagelive CMS on the BrightSign media player is outstanding. Given our existing inflexible proprietary signage infrastructure, Signagelive and BrightSign have been the proverbial breath of fresh air, delivering significant cost savings, reducing administration overheads and providing a solution that is far more agile in presenting content. In addition, Amped Digital has provided highly effective implementation and ongoing support services and the combination is highly recommended.”
He added: “Our existing solution was at the end of life and going out of support. Signagelive was the most cost effective, functional and flexible replacement solution that we evaluated. It is a very complete solution that doesn’t need lots of training, doesn’t consume huge amounts of time to maintain and is reliable in operation. There was considerable time and effort in the analysis and design stages and we didn’t lose much time dealing with unexpected issues. Overall it was a quick and well-executed project completed ahead of schedule and within budget. The signage is a vital and valuable part of our communications strategies and our brand and therefore it has provided major business benefit to the institute.”
